I don’t know where people have gotten the 2020 Roundup criteria from, but I’ll play.
So, the male leads I won’t forget right? Well, probably the ones who were most like me.
Im Eun-seob (I’ll Go to You When the Weather is Nice): Im Eun-seob is deeply sensitive and loving, but he’s also a very sick baby who can’t get out of his own head. Seeing him reach out to people and accept their love drove a stake through my heart.
Lee Soo (More Than Friends): Lee Soo is narcissistic and selfish, which turned many people off this show immediately, but there’s more to him. No, I’m not excusing his selfishness. But the fact that he’s never compelled to start something with the people he’s been attracted to, because his desire to not get hurt is stronger than his desire to date them, is deeply relatable. His character growth was amazing.
